Around the world, populist movements are gaining traction among the white working class. Meanwhile, members of the professional elite―journalists, managers, and establishment politicians―are on the outside looking in, left to argue over the reasons. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams, described as having “something approaching rock star status” by the New York Times, explains why so much of the elite’s analysis of the white working class is misguided, rooted in class cluelessness.
Williams explains that many people have conflated “working class” with “poor”―but the working class is, in fact, the elusive, purportedly disappearing middle class. They often resent the poor and the professionals alike. But they don’t resent the truly rich, nor are they particularly bothered by income inequality. Their dream is not to join the upper middle class, with its different culture, but to stay true to their own values in their own communities―just with more money. While white working-class motivations are often dismissed as racist or xenophobic, Williams shows that they have their own class consciousness.
White Working Class is a blunt, bracing narrative that sketches a nuanced portrait of millions of people who have proven to be a potent political force. For anyone stunned by the rise of populist, nationalist movements, wondering why so many would seemingly vote against their own economic interests, or simply feeling like a stranger in their own country, White Working Class will be a convincing primer on how to connect with a crucial set of workers―and voters.
三星半吧。在hidden brain上知道的这本书,我觉得美国主流媒体对race和gender的关注远超过class,所以特意找了这本书来看补补课,joan williams自己在hidden brain上说的包括她自己和她老公的跨阶级婚姻也确实挺有趣的,所以期望很高。但是。。。这本书真的就是几篇短文的合集啊。。。对于想很快了解white working class的是一本言简意赅的好书,但如果想看更深层分析的写的太简单了。

评分探讨了美国白人”工薪阶层“的特征和心理。此阶层主要是蓝领组成,不包括管理层和知识分子。由一系列短文组成,每篇都主题鲜明,言简意赅,且有文献论证。
评分Some interesting discussions. The focus is indeed pivoted after the election. To re draw attention to white working class.
